O Parque Nacional do Jaú é uma das maiores unidades de conservação do Brasil e a quarta maior reserva florestal do país, cobrindo cerca de 2,27 milhões de hectares de floresta amazônica intacta. Localizado no estado do Amazonas, entre os municípios de Novo Airão e Barcelos, o parque é reconhecido como Patrimônio Mundial Natural pela UNESCO e destaca-se por proteger quase toda a bacia hidrográfica do Rio Jaú, um rio de águas pretas límpidas e espelhadas.Como Funciona a VisitaçãoVisitar o Jaú é sinônimo de uma verdadeira expedição de imersão. Diferente de parques com estrutura hoteleira urbana, o Jaú exige planejamento profundo.Ponto de Partida: A base principal de acesso terrestre/fluvial é a cidade de Novo Airão, localizada a cerca de 180 km de Manaus.Acesso: O deslocamento até o parque é estritamente fluvial (feito em barcos regionais ou voadeiras) ou por hidroavião. A viagem de barco a partir de Novo Airão leva de algumas horas a dias, dependendo da embarcação. Autorização e Guias: É obrigatório realizar o registro e obter autorização junto ao ⁠ICMBio, além de contratar operadoras ou guias locais credenciados
